ANSWER:

Israel treats and reuses industrial wastewater because it faces water scarcity.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Israel was in fact one of the first nations to encounter the problem of water scarcity when its main sources became exhausted because of overuse and rising population.
  • Because of this, Israel did not have enough water for irrigation and the farmers had to find another water source.
  • Water recycling was the best way that could meet the needs of water for irrigation purposes.
  • Today, all industrial units in Israel need to have an in-house water treatment plant so that wastewater can be treated and effluents can be removed before this water is discharged into the sewage and eventually reused for irrigation purposes.
